You may have good reasons to quit homeschooling. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t have mixed feelings and second thoughts. You may feel relief that public school is there for your child, but you may feel some grief that your picture of homeschooling did not play out as you hoped.You may also struggle with adjustment to spending less time with your child and having less say-so over your child’s daily life, as the school acts in loco parentis.Thanks

Homeschoolers differ as to whether the possibility — however slight — of a child needing to attend public school at some point in the future, should mean trying to keep a child on grade level. Read my articles on Homeschooling and Grade Level and When Grade Level Matters for more thoughts on this topic.If you have a child who has special needs, you should familiarize yourself with Wrights Law and be prepared to advocate for your child to get the best possible education.Thanks

approaches are highly supportive of late bloomers, and the payoff comes in later years when a child’s love for reading and learning has remained in tact because of less coercion to do developmentally inappropriate tasks quite early. For example, a child who learns to read at home at 8 or 9 may not be at a disadvantage at all because of the way homeschooling can compensate during skills lags — but that same child may immediately be seen as behind if she has to enter school as a non-reader.Thanks

In some cases, teachers and administrators have an authentic big picture view of this, and they understand that children’s academic levels vary a lot, regardless of how they have been educated before coming to this specific school. In other cases, especially if a child is behind, homeschooling may be blamed as an ineffective approach to education, even though there will be children at the same school who never homeschooled but who are also “behind.”Thanks

Hi all, first post.I have a HP pavilion dv7 laptop that recently died, but comp tech says hard drive should still be good. HPs black screen of death is what happened...I'm past trying to fix it, and bought a new ASUS laptop. I removed the hard drive from the HP, hooked up the sata cable n power supply a d tgen into the USB port. When I do this, it immediately displays an error message "unknown address" and I cannot get into the hard drive. I'm lost now and can't figure out what to do. Driver is up to date, did a few things that I found online like updating driver, disable/enable through devmgmt, n some others....The hard drive I removed from the HP was running Windows 7 and my new ASUS is running Windows 10. HELP!!Thanks
